Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted November 20, 2019 Subscriber Posted November 20, 2019 I suppose the question now is to ask whether he can keep them in the CL come next season while climbing the table. The jump could be substantial based on results elsewhere over this week considering Spurs are really just 3 points away from being close to 5th/6th right now and a string of wins puts them in a good position to start thinking of how to attack the top 4 as well.

Interesting to see what happens with Spurs players - media especially started portraying players as 'snakes'. Wonder if same happens here with Spurs. Wonder if @Teso dos Bichos will as well as he was quite vocal about our players and has a weird dislike for us. But as he bums Jose I very much doubt we'll see the same attitude...

Josep Maria Bartomeu (FC Barcelona President) had dinner with Mauricio Pochettino one week after then then Barça coach Luis Enrique informed the board of the club that he would be stepping down at the end of that campaign. That dinner meeting in Barcelona was all about the possibility of Pochettino taking over at the start of the following campaign and with a project at his disposal, which is something all coaches want plus the added factor of going to one of the biggest football clubs on the planet with untold resources. He said no! He said he couldn't betray his RCD Espanyol past which is massive and is a part of him after spending so many years at that club. He later on went onto deny it was about the possibility of becoming Barcelona coach as did Bartomeu but everyone knows that was exactly what it was all about. He has said various times that he could never coach either Barcelona or Arsenal and as much as I would like it not to be true, the football side of me does indeed want it to be like that... I want there to still remain real football people with ethics based around the care for how fans feel. Barcelona were also serious about hiring Mourinho at one point, met up with him and talked about his plans for the club. In the end, they decided against him because of some of his behaviour and antics off the pitch which wasn't right for the club. Mourinho himself admitted that he would never change his behaviour off the pitch and Barcelona looked elsewhere and got Pep. This was back when the key decision-makers at Barca were making good decisions, a great contrast to what's happening nowadays over there.
Rick Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 I’d love to see Poch say fuck you to spurs and sign with Arsenal. But he is destined for either Madrid or Utd. Possibly Bayern too.

As much as it would be nice to rub it in Levy and the players faces, it’s the fans it affects most like you say.
The Artful Dodger Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Pochettino can do better than Arsenal.

Cicero Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 I wonder if Mourinho will influence Eriksen, Toby, and Vertonghen all to stay.

Negligible differences. Spurs more successful in Europe overall, Arsenal domestically. Neither won the biggest European prize or ever been a major force in it. Arsenal wider fanbase but consistently lie about their attendances. I wouldn't say either was strikingly more attractive than the other for a manager.

Mourinho wanted Eriksen at Real didn't he? Can assume Eriksen stays if so. Not sure about the defenders.

I don't see how we are ungrateful when your club did the exact same thing, Wenger was finished and was rightly moved on. Emery has us 8 points off top 4 with a minus goal difference. AFTV highlights us more but pretty much every club has hounded out managers.

Then you came back saying 'no club is perfect' when that's not what I was insinuating! The reason why I said it went further than 'frustration' was that it went beyond that and seemed disrespectful by some fans. The Wenger Out banners across the stadium. Some fans flew a Wenger Out banner from a plane ffs. You're right AFTV highlights you but I don't think it's just restricted to some berks on a YouTube channel.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted November 20, 2019 Subscriber Posted November 20, 2019 Piers Morgan makes me laugh, for over a year he was ranting on about Wenger should leave Arsenal as he was past his sell-by date when he was still manager, now he thinks Emery is good for the gunners, he doesn't like Spurs hiring Wenger though, I think he is jealous.

Asura Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Forget everything, a couple of trophies are guaranteed for spurs..... im sure they would take that over pochettino's no silverware despite him doing wonders with what he had in the last few years.

Piers Morgan is just one of those people who shouldn't be allowed to talk about football. Behind closed doors, in a pub or whatever yes, but he shouldn't be getting coverage for his views, he's a nothing and knows absolutely fuck all.

His tenure was good, but not as amazingly best ever as some make out. Plus Poch and Spurs have been aided by the massive downfall of Arsenal and United in the League. Mourinho will do well and probably bring in a trophy, something Spurs aren't used to. I've heard people say he's a chequebook manager, but he wasn't one of those when winning the Champions League with Porto in his defence. Once you become a name then you're going to take the bigger jobs, which means you get more money to spend, but I wouldn't say that it was all he was about. He's the type who can get a team playing together, make them tough to beat and very compact. It's not exciting but he hasn't been anywhere yet and not won a trophy.
